-Attention fisherman: You can’t get any closer to the ocean! There are lots of tournaments and you are minutes away from the Atlantic Ocean. (Boat lift is
not for guest use) House is located on a main shipping channel which makes the tides go up and down by 6-9 feet which means you cannot tie up a boat to the dock. If you are bringing a boat we recommend putting in/put at local ramp and just enjoying the dock for sitting on, hanging out, fishing etc.. please mention if you are bringing a boat when booking so we can go over everything.

House is full of information on all parks+resturants+things to do!

Outdoor fire pit and fireplace are not available for guest use. They do not work.

**Due to local city mandates there are no more than 10 people allowed.**

Everything about our experience at The Island Estate was perfect. This home had beautiful decor, plenty of room for everyone for meals and for relaxing, well-stocked kitchen with many extra amenities, comfortable clean bedrooms and baths, and fantastic outdoor spaces, including a great pool and hot tub, and a massive dock area where we enjoyed the spectacular views of both sunrise and sunset, as well as dolphins and ships cruising past. We even witnessed a sea turtle swim up to the dock supports. Our host, Maghen, was wonderful. We entered and saw huge Welcome basket and precious personalized sign, and felt immediately at home. She told us about all of the outdoor accessories for our use and where to find them in the house. She also offered great tips on local restaurants, beaches, activities, groceries and delivery services. This home met, then quickly surpassed, our expectations. We would love to stay here again.

We had a wonderful much needed family gathering at this beautiful property for my youngest autistic grandson's spring break and birthday celebration. The house and property couldn't have been more perfect, and the communication and consideration of the guest needs from the amazing host Maghen was over and above anything we have experienced at a VRBO property before! Starting with the birthday sign and treats left by Maghen, to the spotless clean house, the extremely comfortable beds to the wonderful outside spaces and the dock. The game room and home gym were used for playing and watching movies, the dock was where you could find my oldest 23-year-old grandson enjoying the nice fishing rods and bait provided by the house along with some great pool lounges and toys. The hammocks were extremely popular on the dock, and the kitchen was used to prepare most meals as we had about everything we needed there. I would be remiss if I did not talk about the sunsets and dolphin watching off the dock in the evenings. We were lucky enough to be there as a family to watch the Artemis lift off from the top of the dock followed by the full pink moon and hundreds of dolphins the last evening we were there. We saw dolphins every night, but the size of the pods under the full moon was breathtaking. Many wonderful experiences and memories were made at this beautiful, comfortable property! We will definitely be back!

Best rental we have ever stayed at

We rent a lot on VRBO and this rental by far was the best we have ever had. The owner supplies EVERYTHING you need to actually be able to arrive and enjoy vacation. We went to grocery store on arrival and never had to worry about anything else. Upon arrival there was a personal note, special treat for us and endless goodies provided. Everything you need for fishing, pool time, beach etc was included. We loved our stay and next time we are back we will definitely be staying here.
